The long-tail boat
Long Tail boat is a widely common boat in South East Asia and in Thailand. The craft designed the boat to carry the passenders on a river, in the coastal area, and later a automotive motor engine is put in the back of the boat , Long-tail boats are now often used to transport tourists and are widely used in different provinces in Thailand
Thailand's most distinctive form of coastal transport is in danger of becoming obsolete. In 1989, the Thai government banned logging of natural forests. This led to a shortage of timber used in boat making, and required the wood to be imported from other countries. With a recent increase in the cost of imported timber, there has been a drastic decline in the number of new boats constructed, which has caused the price of an individual boat to skyrocket.
